Wait, do people really have a low reputation of Atlassian? The picture o had in mind was that that pay top $$$, are remote friendly, etc. I would have expected their stuff to be much better...
It’s loved by managers (the ones deciding to buy the product) because it looks shiny and it can auto generate burndown charts. For anyone actually trying to work with it on a daily basis is a huge pain in the ass. Mostly due to the dreadful performance, which was bed enough with the on prem solutions and has now gotten even worse on cloud. Another wtf example is their wysiwyg editor actually has no own markup, it is…

Their API was unbelievably slow but still better than having to interact with the web app. Please Oh Deities, let me be on an hourly contract the next time I have to use their products!

Consider yourself fortunate, you were spared pain of using JIRA and Confluence
What are the pains of using Jira and confluence?
I’ve used JIRA in 3 companies and it was always the worst piece of software I had to interact with. Now we just use Github issues and their “Projects beta” and it’s a huge improvement. Engineer first workflow rather than optimized for creating some pseudo insightful views for useless managers

Confluence content is write only. Good luck finding it ever again unless you know exactly what you are looking for.
You can mitigate the issues in the search if you are organise your content well but the search is still deficient in other ways.

What the heck really? I had the complete exact opposite experience. I actually do wish we are still on jira. it's slow. It's filters make no sense. It's entire flow make no sense.
Filters make no sense? You craft the filters, so if that makes no sense it’s because you didn’t craft the right thing. What flow? It’s a task management software, not a traffic system. I don’t want it manipulating the flow of anything. It provides swimlanes and that’s more than enough for me. I can move any task anywhere at any time which is exactly what I want out of a software — for it to get out of the way.
That's where you've lost nearly all the people.
Who in their right mind crafts filters. What does this even mean?
I never hear anyone shilling for them, so now is my chance. Anyone who’s looking for a great JIRA alternative, I love Shortcut (formerly Clubhouse). It’s the best task management software I’ve used aside from the “no task management software” option. Very snappy, updates in real time, notifications make sense, and no workflow-manipulation shenanigans.
I would like to advocate for Linear.app as an outstanding, fast, polished alternative to Jira for teams looking for an alternative.
Linear was my go-to and I signed up today. I used it at getweave.com and loved using it there

Never fear: these funds are being directed to critically useful tasks of an earth-shattering priority like building a wooden skyscraper .
I thought this was a joke or something but after googling it you aren't joking.... Wow... https://architectureau.com/articles/worlds-tallest-hybrid-ti... Hell of a bet on building more physical space with WFH and other factors making office space cheaper. Plus investing in a new building material concept. This seems like a passion project for someone high up in their food chain.

We just started moving to JIRA after a few years of Gitlab, where gitlab issues feels like nobody has worked on it for a long time. And Jira has been really great. The sprint boards, concept of mapping statuses to in progress etc have all been great. My one gripe (and it’s not a small one) is performance. It still feels quite sluggish. Is Atlassian ever going to address this?

It is impossible to tell how many times I tried to filter out something in Jira only to have everything since before the times or absolutely nothing and needed to scratch that and go back to the defaults. Or hunt down the email with an exact link to the issue.
